Guest Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Alan Burrows is pretty much the gold standard, but if it can be said to one, he makes pretty sure it is said to all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JulioBairn Posted May 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 23, 2022 Sorry but I can’t agree. Social media is a platform for communicating and improving transparency. He was asked a question and he answered it . If I bumped into him and Tesco and asked him would he have to say “I’m not telling you” or put a statement out so everyone could hear the answer? Absolute nonsense. Knickers in a twist for f**k all. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the former but the latter is subjective. That depends many, many factors. Quote He was asked a question and he answered it So were the club and they didn't. Quote If I bumped into him and Tesco and asked him would he have to say “I’m not telling you” or put a statement out so everyone could hear the answer? Depending on your familiarity with him I'd hope he might say it'll be communicated in time via the club website/SM accounts so that, yes, as wide an audience can get access to that information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bairn88 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 As someone who did have a problem with some of the strange political/covid stuff he tweeted, I cannot believe anyone has a problem with him providing appropriate football updates to fans who have asked him questions. Get a grip FFS - sometimes I think we are the only fanbase that comes up with these "issues" - no one ever accuses of Alan Burrows of being "leaky"!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they are, and we as fans can actually do something about that (purchase one by spending money), I would bet my mortgage that it won't be announced on Swinney's twitter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Glad it’s not just me that doesn’t really see an issue . As I said in a previous post, it was hardly groundbreaking seeing as STs go on sale about now every year. I think an open communication platform by him is just what’s needed, as we said, look at AB at Motherwell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopeStreetWalker Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 With a good % of the contracted players that are still going to be in the squad next season. Together with the budget and squad size McGynn is going to have to get a tune out of them. Either with coaching, signings that compliment their talent and shortcomings with team set up and style of play. Who do you think can make it ? Being realistic there are going to 4 - 6 minimum playing most weeks and to be fair they have had a torrid time last season with managers so like McGynn said its a fresh start for them so lets give them a chance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’ll be closer to 2 or 3 from the current squad in a starting position. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have Mccann, Morrison & Watson as potential starters. I'd keep Martin & Mcguffie as squad players, the rest are free to leave. Luke Holt Ryan Williamson Brad Mckay Blair Sneddon Aidan Nesbitt Steven Hetherington Seb Ross Jaime Wilson Finlay Malcolm* *We never got a chance to see him play so incredibly harsh on him but I'm just going off the fact someone on here said he'd been released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 You’re probably looking at Leon McCann, Callumn Morrison and Craig McGuffie that could start and you could see playing a reasonable part next season. He might be able to get more of a tune out of Nesbitt but I’d be surprised. The rest though are absolutely garbage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
